Dimitri is the best in the business! I have a 6 month old staffy cross that is terrified of leads and gets timid and anxious around new people. Thank you for being amazing K.L – Melbourne
I cannot recommend Dimitri more highly enough. We have a nearly 1 year old miniature poodle and we really needed someone to help train us on how best to train her and get the best from our dog. Dimitri did exactly that. He spoke with the whole family, he could see how she was behaving in her environment, and provided us with so many insights into dog behaviour. He gave us the tools and confidence to fix some of the problems we were having with her manners and with patience and consistency, we are seeing amazing results. He’s helped us turn our already awesome dog, into a super dog – thank you Dimitri! – Nat

Let Our Brisbane Dog Trainer, Dimitri, Bring Out The Best In Your Dog
Dimitri’s goal as a dog trainer in Brisbane is to help you raise a dog who is
- Well -behaved and emotionally balanced
- A pleasure to live with at home
- confident and calm out in public
Rather than simply training commands, Dimitri coaches you. This ensures you gain lifelong skills to effectively communicate with your dog and confidently handle real-life situations.
Dogs experience the world differently to humans. Understanding their hierarchy of needs — and how they perceive energy, environment, and relationships — is essential for lasting behavioural change.
When you learn to make subtle but powerful changes to your:
- Relationship with your dog
- Behaviour and energy
- Communicantion and leadership
you naturally shape better behaviour and a calmer experience for both of you.
Why SitDropStay Brisbane Gets Better Dog Training Results
SitDropStay offers a holistic, natural, and empowering approach to dog behaviour training in Brisbane. We don’t just address symptoms — we look at the root cause of your dog’s behaviour.
Our consult assessments consider”
- The overall family dynamic
- existing relationships and routines
- sources of stress and confusion
- emotional state and mindset
- enrichment and lifestle balance
- Your dogs history and environment
We believe influencing your dog’s state of mind is far more important than teaching mechanical actions like sit or drop.
There is little value in a dog who can perform tricks but remains anxious, reactive, jealous, or lacking self-control. Emotional balance, calm leadership, and environmental clarity must come first for training to be truly effective.
Testimonials
We had the pleasure of meeting Dimitri on his recent trip north to the Sunshine Coast. From first meeting Dimitri we were amazed by his calm nature and his ability to really understand our dog. To say we are astounded by the results after just one session is an understatement. We would highly recommend Dimitri to anyone looking for a solid trainer and behaviourist who truly gets results. If you’re sitting on the fence about making a booking with Dimitri, do yourself and your dog a favour and just book the time – you will not be disappointed.- R Dalton

Your Expert Dog Trainer In Brisbane
Dimitri Hondroudakis
Hi, I’m Dimitri and I am stoked to represent SitDropStay in Brisbane.
How I ended up here is a little different from the rest of the SitDropStay team. I had always felt an affinity for dogs, however, when I was growing up, our family dogs lived outside. Whenever my parents couldn’t find me and whenever possible, I was usually outside with the dogs. But, I certainly never pictured myself working with dogs.
I was in my early 30s when Heidi, who belonged to my partner at the time, entered my life. Heidi, a pit/border collie mix, was not only sweet and sassy, she was silly and wise. She changed me irrevocably. Not only did she convince me that dogs belong inside with the family, but Heidi also helped me understand dogs on a level I never knew existed. She showed me that dogs can teach us a lot about ourselves. Heidi taught me about unconditional love and reminded me constantly about the joy of living in the moment.
I am fascinated by the human/canine connection and it has been my passion to help those around me experience what I have. I have spent many years helping friends with their dogs before commencing my training with Sit Drop Stay. My passion is helping my clients form a deeper connection with their K9 companion
